For more information please contact: Physiotherapy Department Nottingham City Hospital Campus Hucknall Road, Nottingham. NG5 1PB Tel: ext Public information
2 This booklet contains information about the shoulder surgery that you have been advised to have and aims to answer some of the questions you may have about the operation and your stay in hospital. About shoulder surgery at City Hospital There are three orthopaedic wards at City Hospital: Surgical Short Stay Unit, Edward 2, and Harvey 1. You will be admitted to one of these wards during your stay in hospital. On each ward a named nurse will be allocated to co-ordinate your nursing care. You will also be seen by a physiotherapists to supervise your rehabilitation. For further information about the ward, please refer to the ward information leaflet. You will usually be admitted to the hospital on the day of your operation, and you will usually go home around the 2nd or 3rd day after your operation. If you think you will need transport to get home or help when you get home please tell your named nurse when you first come in. What to bring You need to bring in with you any medicines that you are taking, toiletries, towel, nightwear and some loose and comfortable clothing. Please leave valuables at home. Operation day Your anaesthetist will see you either on the morning of the operation or during your pre-op visit to discuss your anaesthetic with you. You will be able to eat and drink as usual the day before your operation. You may be able to have an early morning drink even on the day of your operation. The time you have to stop eating will depend upon the time of your operation. You must not smoke after midnight the day before the operation. 2
3 Shoulder Replacement what is it? A shoulder replacement is an operation in which specially designed components are used to replace parts of your shoulder joint damaged by arthritis or injury. The various parts of an artificial shoulder joint are made from a combination of metal and plastic and are designed to mimic the normal movement of your shoulder as much as possible. Right shoulder from the front Right shoulder hemiarthroplasty There are two main types of operation to replace the shoulder joint. The first is called a Hemiarthroplasty. This is where only the ball of your shoulder joint is replaced. Your surgeon will remove the top of your arm bone (the humerus) and replace it with a new metal ball as shown. This is attached to a metal rod, which is fixed inside your humerus. A hemiarthroplasty is often needed when there has been a serious injury or fracture to your shoulder. It can also be done if your surgeon finds that the muscles around your shoulder are in very poor condition. 3
4 Right shoulder from the front Right Total Shoulder Replacement The second operation is a Total Shoulder Replacement. Here the ball of the shoulder is replaced as in a hemiarthroplasty, but your surgeon also replaces the socket of your shoulder as shown. The socket is a part of your shoulder blade known as your glenoid. The bone is smoothed and replaced with a metal plate, onto which is fastened a plastic liner to allow your new joint to move more freely. A total shoulder replacement is usually done when you have arthritis in both parts of your joint. 4
5 Shoulder Replacement what will it do? Shoulder replacement is an operation to relieve your pain, and should take away most, if not all, of the pain that you have in your shoulder. It may take several months before you feel the full benefit of your new shoulder, so please do not be disappointed if it is still painful after the operation. It is unlikely that you will have as much movement as a normal shoulder after having a shoulder replacement, but the therapists will help you to try and get as much movement as possible from your new joint. Some people do find that they actually get more movement from their new joint, but this depends upon how stiff your shoulder was before the operation. How is it done? A shoulder replacement is done as an open operation, which will leave a scar about 7-10cms in length along the front of your shoulder, along the bra (or vest) strap line. Operation scar 5
6 How will I look immediately after my operation? Your shoulder wounds will have dressings on them. You may have a tube coming out of your shoulder. This is to help with pain relief. If you do have this the nursing staff will advise you on how to use it. This normally remains in for the first day. What will happen on the ward after my operation? You will have x-rays taken after your surgery. You are normally able to start exercising your shoulder before this however in some instances your surgeons may need to check your x-ray to make sure that it is safe to take off your sling. When we can take your sling off, you will be shown how to do the exercises in this booklet by one of the physiotherapy team. When will the stitches come out? Your will be removed on the ward or at your GP s surgery, usually 10 days after your operation Will I have to wear a splint or sling? You will have your arm supported in a sling straight after your operation. This is for pain relief. It also protects your shoulder until you have your x-ray to check how your operation has gone. You may also have a foot pump. This will help your circulation whilst you are not walking around. This prevents the occurrence of a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). 6
7 How do I fit my sling? 1 Make sure your arm is well supported on a pillow / table before you start. Do not lift your arm at any point. Slide the sling under your arm. Make sure your elbow is tucked into the corner of the sling. You can put your fingers and thumb in the loops inside the sling as long as you have normal hand sensation. Get hold of the strap by your elbow and move along it until you reach the triangle. The strap at the front of the triangle is strap Strap 1 goes around your back and over your unaffected shoulder. It inserts in to the loop at the front of the sling. The white velcro piece, can be moved further along the strap for a better fit if necessary. You should aim to have your hand just above your elbow. Strap 2 will already be attached to the corner side of the sling, it s length should not need amending as this will have already been done for you. B 3 Strap 3 goes round your back and underneath your unaffected arm. It fastens into the plastic loop by your little finger with the attached clip. (A) A In some circumstances you may be advised to attach the clip to the plastic loop on the front of your sling near to strap 1. (B) 7
8 How can I sleep? Sleeping can be a little uncomfortable if you try to lie on your operated shoulder. We would recommend that you lie on your opposite side. Ordinary pillows can be used to give yourself comfort and support (feather pillows are easier to use than foam ones). One pillow slightly folded under your neck gives enough support for most people. A pillow tucked along your back helps to prevent you rolling onto your shoulder in the night. If sleeping on your back, tie a pillow tightly in the middle (a butterfly pillow ), or use the folded pillow shown before. This will support your neck. Fold another pillow to go under the elbow of your operated arm. 8
9 Exercises Try to do five repetitions of each exercise. You should do your exercises in this order at least twice a day at home, until your outpatient physiotherapy appointment. They can then be altered or increased under the guidance of your physiotherapist. Lean forwards from your hips, circle your arms from your shoulder in gentle, pendulum type movements. Keep your palms facing forwards as you go clockwise and anticlockwise. Shrug your shoulders up and backwards in a smooth, circular motion. Stand tall grasping a stick with both hands behind your back. (Palms up) Roll your shoulders back and down. Now use the stick to help take your operated arm up and out behind you. Do not lean forwards. 9
10 In the position shown, pull your operated arm up behind your back. You may use a stick or a towel if you can't reach it with your hand. Remember to stand tall Aim to run your thumb up your spine. Lie on your back with your elbows on folded towels so that they are level with your shoulders. Bend your elbows to at least 90 degrees, and use a stick to turn your operated arm out to the side. Keep your elbows tucked in. From lying on your back with your elbows supported as before, use your un-operated arm to lift the operated arm up towards your head. Try to get your hands level with your head if you can. Resting your hands upon your head, now try to lower your elbows out to the side. Reverse the movement to come down. 10
11 Use the pulleys try to do at least 10 repetitions. You can do them for several minutes if comfortable. Try to hold your arm up in the highest position whilst easing off with your un-operated hand. Remember to keep your shoulder down, elbow tucked in and your palm up. When can I go home? When your pain is controlled When you have learnt your exercises When you have some control moving your new shoulder Is that the end of my treatment? You will usually have an appointment at a local physiotherapy department within two to three weeks of leaving the ward. You will usually be seen in clinic six to eight weeks after your operation by your Consultant or a specialist orthopaedic physiotherapist. At around six months and one year, you will have another clinic check-up. If you are at all worried about your shoulder you should contact the Shoulder and Elbow Unit at the City Campus. The telephone numbers are at the end of this booklet. 11
12 What will I do as an outpatient? You will continue with your exercises with the help of a physiotherapist. You will be given more exercises if you need them. You will gradually work on developing the strength in your shoulder, progressing to full functional movement. We will encourage you to learn how to use your shoulder comfortably. If you have a heavy or demanding job, you may also be helped by our occupational therapists. When can I do my normal activities? This depends upon your symptoms, and how long you have to wear the sling for. Most people are comfortable by 6-12 weeks after surgery. Driving can be resumed when you are comfortable and safe to control a car. It is wise to discuss this with your insurance company. The following table gives you the timescales for the amount of rest required by your arm before resuming a particular type of activity. Type of activity Light work (no lifting) Medium (light lifting below shoulder level) Heavy (above shoulder level) Rest 10 days-6 weeks 6 weeks onwards 3-6 months If you feel that your work or leisure activities come into the heavy category, please discuss this with the physiotherapists and occupational therapists, so that we can plan the best rehabilitation for you. 12
